Cake Fairies
This is my 22nd Annual 2005 San Diego Cake Club's Cakes on Parade Cake Contest entry in the Scuplture category. This cake didn't place in the top 3 but I got soooo many inquiries and postive comments on it. Appearently the crowds and my fellow decorators loved it, just not the judges. This was an engineering feat getting the flower bowl to stay on top of the "batter pour". Decorated in fondant, gumpaste, pastillage, royal icing, rice paper, and lots of pearl, luster dusts, and edible glitter.
very,very pretty!!
Those faeries are wonderful! What techniques did you use to make them???
The fairies are hand molded with a 1/2+1/2 mix of gum paste and fondant into 6 main pieces (body + 4 limbs+ head), the wings are rice paper (butterfly wings). They are "glued" on using gum arabic. They are "dressed" in royal icing using a leaf tip.
WOW - what an amazing idea - I had to look close to figure it out but absolutely AMAZING!
Awesome cake! The judges must have been blind that day!
Very cute!
Beautiful job!!
You've gotta be kidding?!!! This cake didn't place!? Maybe you didn't bribe them enough? Truely a very awesome cake, wonderful job, I'll vote you 5 stars!
